This is my complaint. As a fan of the...

I mean - the Charger may have started life as a "mid-size" on the B Body, but that's still big by modern standards. The (arguably most famous) 2nd gen was 208" long, so this new one is still smaller...

I know it sounds crazy but thought I'd ask - did the protective plastic get removed from the pedals? (though after 60k miles, I'd think it'd worn off regardless).

Because it's smaller in every way. Its "added lightness" equates to less wasted space all around. I don't need four doors and a "few hundred pounds" is something racers dream of achieving in their...

The faster you can go, the faster you need to stop?

Better brakes on the track mean faster lap times?

The strut mounts were known weaknesses of the OEM suspension, so if they've never been replaced, they'd likely be bad by now even with everything else stock.

I did the TRD springs, which quickly...

Agreed - that's the best option. Until someone does the Gen 2, I'm not sure how it will work irl though. The curves might throw it off.

Yeah, everything seems to move. I'll have to see what I can come up with. At least it's blowing out of everywhere else so the cabin cools.

That's just it - what good is mechanical reliability when the electrical system is garbage? It's harder to diagnose/fix and the end result is the same.

It's an old discussion, and maybe the new one is better but I've been driving manuals my whole life too and getting rid of that weird return spring was one of the best, simplest upgrades I made.

Now that I'm home I could check, but pg 344 of my 2013's manual just says 0W-20 is "recommended" and "the best choice for fuel economy and good starting in cold weather".
